Yeah, it kinda feels like f1 is getting more political, at least from what I’ve seen lately. Stuff like team bosses getting fired, teams switching drivers every couple of races, and all those public arguments about strategy or who gets team orders—it’s all super dramatic. Honestly, sometimes it seems like the races themselves come second, and the big talk is about who’s fighting with who in the garages or which CEO is under fire next.

In my experience, I first got into f1 because I thought it was all about the fastest driver winning. But now, I keep hearing more about scandals, management shakeups, and superstar drivers getting replaced out of nowhere. It makes you wonder if you need to be just as good at navigating team politics as you do at driving the car. I still love watching the races, but I wish the focus would go back to the drivers and the on-track action a bit more.
